Since drug testing welfare participants has shown that only a very small percentage of participants have failed their drug test I asked my self some other questions...

• How much money does the government help you with per child?
• Does the aid increase as you have more children?
• Is there a limit you can reach or do you get more and more with more children?
• Do you have to be a single parent?
• Are you government worker to verify that the aid is helping the children?

This website states that $500 worth of food stamps is the average aid for a family of 4. For a single person household it averages $200 per month. 

Can this be an incentive for people to have children?

TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) can provide an average cash allowance of $900 for a family of 4. This might not sound like much but food stamps and TANF help can be combined together. A single household can receive an average of $200 per month. 

In this website I found a paragraph that caught my eye 

"Even as you look at these welfare amounts, it is not surprising that the current allowance benefits seldom if ever make ends meet for the recipient. The institutionalized program was set up to be an offset measure for those in need, not a complete replacement of income and benefits. The downside to this is that as the economy continues to take a nosedive, so does the available means for those living with minimal income. A family of 4 cannot live on $900 a month. Additionally, criminal activities meant to defraud the SRS program greatly limit the available funds for those who truly need and make the regulations stricter, in some cases too strict, eliminating the benefits for those who truly need it. "

The first thing I noticed was that it mentioned how these programs were meant to aid people in need not completely maintain a person or household for life. Im assuming that the government wants people to still get up and try to better their life's, these government helps are put out so that people can live another day, so that children can wake up and eat before going to school, so that there is a roof on top of their heads so that the children can go on with their life's and better themselves... not so that parents can free load on these government help and just assume that they will be taken care of for ever. 

The other thing that caught my eye was how this paragraph mentioned how criminal activity is causing the regulations to get stricter, it might have been hinting on the "drug testing welfare participants" although the results from passing that legislation didn't come back with good results tax paying people and the government are asking themselves if EVERYONE in a welfare program or any other government aid truly needs this help or have they found a loophole to continue to free load on this help.

While I was searching for some answers regarding the question of

"Is there a limit you can reach or do you get more and more with more children?"

I found this website that is based on the SNAP's program... which is the Supplement Nutrition Assistance Program and I found that although there are many requirements to be met when applying for this aid, the amount that they help you with does increase with the household size the chart shows the amount of increase...

How Much Could I Receive?  Allotments for households in the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia.

"The amount of benefits the household gets is called an allotment. The net monthly income of the household is multiplied by .3, and the result is subtracted from the maximum allotment for the household size to find the household's allotment. This is because SNAP households are expected to spend about 30 percent of their resources on food."

(October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2015)

People in Household	Maximum Monthly Allotment
1	$   194
2	$   357
3	$   511
4	$   649
5	$   771
6	$   925
7	$ 1,022
8	$ 1,169
Each additional person	$    146

 The SNAP's aid assumes that 30% of the resources granted to a household should be spent on food, so where does the other 70% go ? Do they care what the households do with the rest of the 70%?
